Wooldridge Park is a park square area in Austin, Texas, between West 9th and 10th Streets and San Antonio and Guadaloupe Streets. Also known as Wooldridge Square, it is one of the four original public squares incorporated into Downtown Austin through the 1839 city master plan.
On June 18, 1909, the park was dedicated by A. P. Wooldridge, who was mayor of Austin from 1909 to 1919, and honored in the naming of the park. Mayor Woolridge was instrumental in organizing the city's first public school system, in bringing the Austin & Northwestern Railroad here, and in building the first Colorado River dam within the city.
The park and pavilion can be seen from Guadalupe Street in Google Street View.
